    This intern role will specifically support in creating our county plans pulling together a wealth of information such as; Local risks, maintenance issues, asset performance, growth in the area, environmental considerations, future water quality projections, catchment plans etc. We also require support turning these local county plans into our long-term regulatory plans. As part of this fantastic opportunity, we will also provide you with an opportunity to work with several teams across United Utilities to increase your knowledge, confidence, experience and contacts.

    This is a great opportunity to get exposure to the water, Asset Management and environmental sector. Skills you will develop include data analysis, business visual design, interpreting data, report writing and internal and external communications. As your internship progress there will be substantial scope to take on additional responsibilities as you gain more experience and gain exposure to other areas of the team.

    Don't worry, we won't throw you in at the deep end. You'll have mentors and managers with you as you progress through your placement and support you as you work towards your personal development goals.
